Steeldrifter 0 Report post Posted March 27, 2018 Yep, my fishing buddy & I are just waiting another couple weeks for the weather to get a bit nicer and we're gonna start planning the first steelhead trip of the year. Probably do it about 3rd week of April. Got tickets to this years Fly Film Fest on April 19th so thinking we'll head up on the trip right after that.

caloosa bug 0 Report post Posted March 27, 2018 I'm planning on heading over to Pine island soon. My coworker asked me last week if I wanted to go this coming weekend. I told him I already had plans. I'll be taking a famous fly tyer out on the lake Saturday. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vicente 0 Report post Posted March 28, 2018 That would be awesome zip, hopefully next spring, I want to try to visit my sister and her husband down there and fish, not necessarily in that order though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zip 0 Report post Posted March 28, 2018 I completely understand the fishing vs visiting dilemma!My grandmother's back yard is the rim canal.As soon as I get there its:Unload rods and gear,fish,drink a beer,say hello,shower,sleep. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikechell 0 Report post Posted March 28, 2018 If you guys are going to plan a get-together in Caloosa's area, I'm in. I've got a 14 foot jon boat with a 15 Hp Honda on the back. Comfortably seats and fishes two people. However ... no booze, no radio and no children in my boat. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steeldrifter 0 Report post Posted March 28, 2018 Steve that sounds like fun!Are you fishing for food or is just release? If I can catch a stuffed crust pizza then for food LOL I'm strictly a Catch & Release angler anymore, I can't remember the last time I kept a fish. Not that there's anything wrong with it, just my personal choice though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
